I realized that I haven’t done an update on what’s going on in my life since I did a small one in Jan 2019, which was supposed to be the first of several for that year. Previously I had done a more detailed one in mid 2018. Looking at that one, it’s almost funny how …
For those of you who may not know, Jonathan Bowen, owner of CorSec Engineering, passed away on Feb 8th 2020. In August he had posted that he went into the ER at the end of May with complications due to his Crohn’s disease and was still recovering. It sounded like he was doing better, but …

Michelle is now doing training for doing Casual HIMS coding for Alberta Health Services in Calgary in addition to the rural areas around Calgary. Hopefully that will give her more work and cut down on the …
